Roof Access Day Held in Frankfurt for the First Time - Frankfurt hosts inaugural "Rooftop Access Day," inviting public to explore city's rooftops.
In Frankfurt, Germany, the city's iconic skyline is about to become more accessible than ever as the inaugural "Rooftop Day" event is set to take place on August 23, 2025. This innovative event aims to offer residents and visitors a tangible experience of Frankfurt's urban energy and breathtaking views from above.
Spearheaded by Economic Development Officer Stephanie Wüst, the "Rooftop Day" is poised to become a semi-annual tradition, with twenty hosts signed up so far, including rooftop bars, hotels, and cultural institutions. Among the participating locations are Gaia on the rooftop of the Börse parking garage, the Blasky Hotel, the historic Rententurm, and the Mayor’s balcony, with other locations still being sought.
With each host creating their unique program, visitors can look forward to diverse experiences that may include poetry slams, live music, and culinary theme parties. However, private individuals with rooftop terraces will not be able to participate in the first edition, but this could change in the future.
Organizers aim to attract not only Frankfurt residents but also tourists, with Thomas Feda, CEO of the Tourismus+Congress GmbH, stating, "We want to establish the 'Rooftop Day' as a fixed event in the city's calendar, leveraging our architecture as a strong asset." During the event, attendees can expect spectacular views, creative drinks, and culinary highlights that showcase Frankfurt from a fresh perspective.
Frankfurt's skyline, brimming with impressive buildings, is undeniably a significant part of the city's identity. Known as "Mainhattan," the area boasts the tallest buildings in the country, with around 40 high-rises over 100 meters tall, and half measuring more than 150 meters, the standard definition of a skyscraper.
